After being down 22-27 in the 1st quarter, the Thunder climb back at halftime to make it 51-46! Adams having a monster game with 15p and 7r, while melo has 8p and 2r, Westbrook has 2p, 9a and 11r, and pg has 7p, 2a and 1r. No other okc player has double digit points except for kiwi 🥝! Overall a good game so far, but okc is struggling defensively with the absence of Roberson.

Jhené Aiko
jhene is easily my top female artist. sail out, souled out, and now trip are all great projects. i could listen to any of these three projects without skipping. i also love twenty88 (fight me big sean haters ) and think she kills it on that too. it was hard to not have her in my top 12 but i couldn’t find an artist in there to replace.
~
Logic
logic was one of my favorite rappers alive from his young sinatra days all the way through TITS. i don’t believe he has one project in those days that is anything short of great. i even went to his TITS concert and i have logic merch. bobby tarantino had some bangers too. however, everybody is a terrible album, maybe a 2/10 tbh. ever since that dropped, logic himself has gotten pretty annoying too and it’s just cringy. dropped him way down on my list but he still gets a HM due to his older projects.

Big Sean
big sean is the only artist i’ve ever really stanned and he is also the artist that really made me love hip hop. his album finally famous was the project that really put me on to rap music and i still go back to it often even if it isn’t the most incredible album critically. i fucking love seans mixtape days and also love hall of fame. dark sky paradise is dope too. i decided wasn’t incredible but wasn’t bad. it was just meh. so was double or nothing. his underwhelming releases lately have dropped him out of my top 12 but i hope he finds himself and drops a great project sometime in the future
~
Childish Gambino
i love bino and all of his music. i don’t think he has a bad project to date. unpopular opinion, but i fucking love camp. i also love BTI and while its not my favorite by bino, i do enjoy AML from time to time. his mixtapes aren’t incredible but he has a lot of bangers in his mixtape days too.
~
Kendrick Lamar
i do have high regard for kendrick’s music and his discography and would place him much higher if rating rappers critically. he has unbelievable talent and i love that. however, i don’t find myself enamored with any of his tapes and don’t 100% love his sound and beat choices and that’s why he’s not in the top 10.

Kid Cudi
For me, easily one of the most visionary artists out there. His music has paved the way for so many others to find success. Not only that, but I have not been able to find someone who doesn’t know a song by him. His ability to generate intrigue in his character and music has allowed him to become such a prolific musician and prominent figure in hip hop today. ~
A$AP Ferg
One of the hardest artists I’ve ever heard. His music is extremely consistent having at least 3 bangers per album. I haven’t really ever explored his discography but I have always been satisfied with the works I’ve listened to. ~
TI
Easily my favorite trap artist. TI was the one who got me into rap in the first place. Paper Trails was a huge album for me and I wouldn’t have the view of hip hop that I do today if it weren’t for TI. Trap music as a whole wouldn’t look the same if it wasn’t for TI. Not only a great rapper, he’s an amazing artist in general and an outspoken champion of minority rights in America. ~
Ice Cube
My favorite NWA artist. There’s something about super hard beats and flow embedded with a political message. He brought a lot of black struggles to the general public. Ice Cube continues today to break social barriers by being an active part of his community. When you think of hip hop you have to think about Ice Cube. ~
Cousin Stizz
Okay so maybe a little bit of Boston bias here. Cousin Stizz is bringing positivity to trap music. He’s just an amazingly thankful and happy young man who has so much potential as a rap artist. His lyrical ability is extremely underrated, so crafty with his bars. He’s gonna blow up big one day believe me.

NBA TONIGHT
Some of the big matchups in the league tonight as the Greek Freak goes up against the inform DeMarcus Cousins as the New Orleans Pelicans take on the Bucks. In the other big game, Paul George makes his return to Indiana to play against his former side while the inform Oladipo faces off against the side that traded him for PG.

Here’s how to grab the Go Hard hoodie that l just dropped today. (BTW IM GIVING AWAY 1 FREE HOODIE TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO DM’S ME A SCREENSHOT PROVING THAT THEY BOUGHT ONE ) 🙏🏻💎 much love - y’all are the best. @itsviacj

Lets take a look at #Westbrook ’s former and current teammates. #VictorOladipo is killing it in #Indiana , it’s been his breakout season and struggled significantly last season alongside #Westbrook#Sabonis is killing it too, he didn’t get much opportunity last season even though he started in 66 games. #KevinDurant , although his stats have decreased a little, is playing better alongside #StephCurry than #Russ , and #PaulGeorge and #Melo are both struggling this season. Isolation is a problem but #Westbrooks poor offball movement doesn’t help get plays running. Is #Russ the real problem in #OKC ?
